This registry study is being done to collect information on fecal microbiota transplant (FMT). Eligible participants are men or women who are being seen in the clinic as an FMT recipient or FMT donor or receiving other gut-related microbiota product.
FMT is a medical procedure in which the stool from a healthy person (called a donor) is prepared and then put into the intestine of a sick patient. All stool is tested to ensure it is safe and healthy before being used in a sick patient. FMT is most commonly used to treat Clostridium difle (C. diff ) infection, if antibiotics have not been able to get rid of the infection. Researchers are studying whether FMT may help treat other diseases.
Participants’ information (i.e. weight, demographic information, medical history, hospitalization) will be collected. They will be contacted every year for 10 years to fill out a short online survey regarding their health and how they’re feeling. The FMT Registry hopes to fill in the gaps of what we don’t know about FMT. We hope this registry may help give participants a safe space to give feedback on how they feel after getting the procedure. In addition, participants have the option of partaking in an optional sub-study. Participants will need to provide a stool sample that will be stored (banking) in a freezer.
